Naturopathic medicine?

[suzzeeb]

Has anyone tried naturopathic medicine or seeing a naturopath with any improvement at all? Just wondering if there is anything more natural that could help anxiety.

Again it depends on your own view on such things. There are loads of various types of things out there. All similar in that they are all nartural. To some people they would mean nothing at all. But to others, because their mind is set on them working, they might do something for those people. Kinesiology would be another one some people use. You don't even have to be present in the room when this one is done. A surrogate is used. A person it is done on who is your surrogate. So you sit at home and you are meant to feel better after a session you were not even present at. You don't even have to be in the same country as the person doing all this. Case of would you believe such things could really work? EMDR would be another one. Some claim it works wonders. All about eye movement. Again if you think something will work for you, it might just do that because you believe in it.

I just think there must be other ways to treat it with at least some success. Maybe high-dose fish oil, or something else that affects the brain. Everything I read says exercise has the same effect on depression as antidepressants, so I just wonder if there aren't things that could make a difference without the side effects of prescriptions. I don't know. I just wondered if anyone had any positive experiences. I guess if they did they wouldn't be on this forum though lol.

I tried hypnotheraphy once. Biggest failure ever. Think when I saw she also treated animals I more or less lost hope. Didn't know whether to sit down or get on all fours. LOL. I sat there wondering when does it all begin? Only to hear her say that was it. In other words I was alert for the whole thing. My one and only visit.

Oh jeez, lovely! I tried acupuncture years ago. He left me in the room so long and I was nervous and really had to go to the bathroom so I kept moving around and all the needles were popping out and falling on the floor! When he came in he was like, you should have yelled for me. I was so embarrassed I didn't go back either.

I am currently trying Acupuncture again. I tried a few years ago, with not much success. The practitioner was not a good fit. This new person seems much better, so thought it was worth a try.

I hope it works! Keep us posted. I really want to know if it helps

I've been to a naturopath before to try and treat my anxiety, they ran a blood test and a spit test and then suggested supplements both based on the results of the tests and information I had given them about how I was feeling.
For me, the supplements they gave me specifically for anxiety didn't seem to do anything, so I stopped taking them after a while (with the guidance of the naturopath) and didn't feel any difference. However, I did get some supplements for things I was deficient in that I still continue to take (like magnesium), which are also supposed to help with the anxiety.

Long story short - didn't really seem to do much for me (they also had me try a whole bunch of things at once so it was difficult to tell what, if anything, was working and was wasn't). However, I do know some people for whom naturopathic medicine works wonders! I think it's different for everyone. I'd say if you have the means to go ahead and try it, you should! You never know what might end up working for you.

The natural method is work your brain and equip it to not make the same moves which are triggers, put down your triggers and the anxiety will not be so bad when it comes.
